During mid-march this year I had the pleasure of checking in with some of our empowerment programs run by Oxbridge and Kyoto/Tokyo University students.

Welcome to ISA Australia

We provide Australian study tour programs for overseas students. We were founded in 1994 to address the need for an office in Australia to work with partners and to facilitate the ever-increasing desire to study in Australia.

Our services include programs in Australia for Japanese students, and programs in Japan for Australian students.

Our programs teach leadership, cross-cultural communication and critical thinking, and are the perfect opportunity to improve English language skills through seminars, classes, cultural excursions, and conversation with peers, faculty and student advisors.

Winter Empowerment Programs

Winter Program Participants are sent to locations throughout Japan to serve as group leaders at high schools and educational institutions.

Their roles are to help Japanese students better understand self-empowerment, critical thinking, and English communication.

Group leaders are provided with opportunities to gain practical experience in international education and cross-cultural communication. We offer a stage to develop skills and techniques important to careers in the burgeoning international workplace.

"Remember that the future is not somewhere we are going, it is something we are creating. Every day we do things that make some futures more probable and others less likely."Professor Ian Lowe, environmental scientist

“Today and always, there will be an obligation to pass on to the new generation the tradition of liberal scholarship - scientific or in the humanities - and to bring the understanding of things and human actions to everyone.”Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnett, father of the flu vaccine

"You don't do anybody any favours by being less than you are."Professor Fiona Wood, innovator of spray-on skin

"Community leadership is the courage, creativity and capacity to inspire participation, development and sustainability for strong communities."
Sir Gustav Nossal, celebrated immunologist

“Apart from the scientific interest attached to my various journeyings, it has been made clear to me that human needs and aspirations differ little the world over and that no great difficulties arise in one race dealing with another when matters of scientific importance are involved.”Howard Florey, father of penicillin.
